Cables and ribs are classic patterns for fall and winter sweaters, so why not use them on a pillow? Add a comfy alpaca/wool blend yarn, and you’ll know which pillow to grab whenever you want to curl up with a good book on a long cold wintery day.
Worked in the round, the top edge is joined using 3-needle bind-off. The bottom is sewn together after inserting the pillow. This pattern is worked for a 12” by 16” (30.5 by 40.5 cm) pillow. For a 16” (40.5 cm) square pillow, add another repeat of the chart.
